Guerrilla poetry involves publishing poetry in unexpected and unconventional ways in unexpected and unconventional places. 

A group of gorillas is called a band or a troop (less common is a “whoop”of gorillas.)

So what is a Guerilla Poetry Whoop, you ask?

An unconventional group of poets and poetry enthusiasts here at Thomas Memorial Library who will be gathering regularly to share our favorite poems and poets with one another in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. In addition to reading and discussing poetry, we’ll also be brainstorming and collaborating on creative ways to put poetry out into the wider world for everyone to enjoy.  Would you like to join our whoop?

We’ll be meeting every second Thursday of the month at 6:30pm via Zoom. Please register by filling out the form below so that we can send you the Zoom link to join. And please bring 2-3 favorite poems that you’d like to share with the group.

We look forward to seeing you!
